Jonathan Dimmig emerged as the chip leader at the end of Day 2 and came into the final table on Day 4 fifth in chips. He was initially 10 million short of the chip leader, @Steve Graner whom he eliminated in sixth place when his 8♣ 9♣ hit a higher straight than Graner's 5♣ 5♠.
Next big moment for Jonathan was hand 139, when he eliminated @Andrew Teng with a rivered set for his 2♠ 2♣.

So, is it luck or skill in your opinion?... (Also see the pocket 4s that held up against QJ :)

Skill ... he made alot of really solid folds to preserve chips. The 2's were in preflop, so pretty standard flipping situation. Of course, you need to get some bounces along the way, which he did ... he played a strong final table.

Yes, I agree with you @PeterTheHammer, any luck he had was well-deserved with skill!
Totoro 5 Jun 2014
I agree too ! 80 % skill and 20 % luck - the formula to success
